In a verdict that can have a cascading effect on matters related to partition of ancestral properties with regard to equal right for daughters, the Supreme Court has declared that the coparcener rights are applicable to “living daughters of living coparceners as on September 9, 2005, irrespective of when such daughters are born.”

Hi,

The right of share in ancestral property was given to girls in September 2005 .
this right is not applicable if parent died before 2005.
when your father died in 1974, the property would have been divided .
you can get share in mothers property if she did not made the will or made the will in your favour.

Thanks
